"My seminarian in Ethiopia is being ordained a priest tomorrow. I got an email from him."

Seminarian?

Someone fifty years old?
Seminarian -- fifty
Sexagenarian -- sixty
Septuagenarian -- seventy
Octogenarian -- eighty
Nonagenarian -- ninety

It seems to fit.

It seems to work, actually ... but I think he’s about 26. He was still in his teens when he entered the seminary, and it’s been more than 8 years.

Seaman Petunia has reported from Singapore, but she says she’s still on the boat and hasn’t done anything interesting yet. She might go to the opera.
